http://www.onlive.com ? But yeah, I was wanting this to be user transparent for all applications, since there is no way we could modify proprietary applications that use a lot of processor real estate and this would be a one time deal, no need to do it on an app by app basis. But, I understand.

Ah, ok, it's good to hear something remotely (no pun intended) similar is in the works. And I don't predict lion taking over by any means, just being the best for a little while, even if expensive, and that windows hasn't been feature competitive with Linux in at least a couple of years in my op

Mostly, it is identically equal to "remote Wayland protocol". Except that this iSwifter thing is specific to remoting Flash applications. Speaking of which there is a GSOC'11 proposal over on X.org to do the remote Wayland protocol. The parts about Lion taking over the world I am skeptical of

Um. This sounds overly grandiose and not really Wayland-specific. Also, most people don't have lots of iron sitting in their garages. I think you may have upgraded "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" to "Dude, this is a killer feature!" Sending from a mobile, pardon the brevity. ~ C. On Mar 16, 2011 7:1

If you don't want any disks, not even a USB key, booting over the network with gpxe is pretty easy to set up these days and uses HTTP or HTTPS instead of tftp. It's really easy on DD-WRT or OpenWRT, or any system with dnsmasq. On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 4:24 PM, Josh Leverette wro
